ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING
AND REPLACING
WARNING:
It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant
concentration of the recommended strength
at all times. The use of the air conditioning
system when the cooling system is filled
with water only will result in the heater
matrix freezing and subsequently bursting.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot, since the system is
pressurised and coolant may be ejected
from the radiator resulting in scalding.

Engine Coolant Level

Petrol engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a
corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy
engine components should be used in the
cooling system. No further additives or inhibi-
tors should be used. The coolant specific
gravity should be checked as prescribed in
the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate
frost and corrosion protection. In addition, the
engine coolant must be replaced at the speci-
fied interval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-
erties deteriorate with time.

It is important to note that whilst an increase
in the concentration of anti freeze gives an
increase in the level of frost protection, a
solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze
will result in reduced frost protection and
engine overheating. Therefore the recom-
mended concentration of 50% should not be
exceeded for general use.
The use of methanol based anti freeze com-
pounds may result in engine overheating and
will invalidate the vehicle warranty.
